CORE Team Canvas

Report

Why?

Strong teams don’t just happen—they’re shaped by clarity, alignment, and shared understanding. The CORE Team Canvas helps teams articulate who they are, what they aim to achieve, and how they’ll work together to get there.

It brings structure to collaboration and creates space for honest reflection and actionable planning. Whether you’re forming a new team or realigning an existing one, this canvas is your launchpad.

How?

We move through six focused steps:

Context – Define your team’s identity, roles, and strengths

Objectives – Align on purpose and measurable goals

Resources – Uncover what’s needed to succeed

Execution – Set clear ways of working and decision-making

Risks and Challenges – Anticipate what might get in the way

Commitments – Agree on next steps and team ownership

The format is interactive, time-boxed, and designed to spark engagement—dot voting, avatars, sticky stacks, and structured dialogue help turn insight into action.

It’s about clarity, alignment, and unlocking team potential—together.
